OMG! Are you kidding me? I dont have OCD to the point where i'd scream if it happened, I dont even think that a doctor would Diagnose me with it, but whoa, I do just what Brittany was doing while i'm walking sometimes! I've never heard of someone in fiction or otherwise doing exactly that where they walk in the tiles. I can usually snap myself out of it b/c I refuse to be controlled by anything that is just in my head. But wow, i'm probably babbling like an idiot but you dont know how cool that was when I read that.

Well, I found this through ‘Pay it forward’, and am very glad because of it. You seem to cover all the proper bases concerning your writing you have excelled in areas such as punctuation, grammar, and overall style. Therefore, constructive criticism on my part is quite limited. Thanks for the great read, it was refreshing to read something so striking (regarding the story's subject matter). Congrats on writing this wonderful one-shot!

-hugs Blysse- I loved this. I caught the show about OCD on Tyra [Don' .Anything.] and I really felt humbled by all those people who had problems like that. It made me wonder how many people in my school were walking around masking it.

Wow. Just...wow. I'm speechless, and trust me that is not a regular occurance. This is possibly one of the most interesting things I have ever read, and that's a really pathetic way to express what I'm trying to say. Anyway. This is actually quite a lot like the kind of thing I write. Thank you for such a brilliant read!

Wow...this just a really touching story. I remember that there was this one time where my and my friends were playing some kind of truth or dare game, when one of the questions asked was "What are you most scared of?" Mostly everyone answered something, "the dark" or "spiders", but then someone said, "Not being able to control my mind." Until now, I guess I've never realized what exactly she meant by that until now.

Wow, I have really nothing to give. This is a great story, and I think it's fantastic.

I find it strange her parents did not at least want to tell the teachers. They need to know so they can teach her properly. Even the headmaster should recognize such a thing.

Aside from this, I thought it was well done. You captured her obsessive behaviour and her classmates, although only mentioned, acted believeably as school can be quite harsh to such "odd balls"

I have a suggestion about your summary. Skip the "My first attempt at a oneshot". It is really unnecessary. Write that inside the story. only use the summary to speak of what the story is about and nothing less nor more.

At times, I was teeny bit bored due to the fact that all your writing was aimed solely on her obsessive complusive disorder. I felt like I was missing out of her other characteristics. Her personality traits and such. I do understand it can be hard to add such a thing when you're already dealing with such a demanding feeling as her OCD. But it'd definitely flesh her out a bit more!

As for the ending: best part. Really, I liked how her disorder really shined through when he kept stalling, and she added the Is and such.

Until now, I've never met anyone with the same issue as me - so you're an Adam on Fictionpress, too! While I struggled with what I now know is OCD all throughout my childhood, I never told anyone and only realised I had it a year ago. I still haven't told anyone of my compulsions. Thank you so much for this story! Hope-giving, it is.
